Burning Boat - Bug or new possible feature?

    Ahoy!

    Today I played the game and whenever I moved away from my ship, it was burning. Like somebody set it on fire, but closer I was the fire start disappearing and when I was close enough no fire was there.. So new idea came to my mind. What about new visual effects for a boats?

    For example:

    250lvl on Servants of the flame - Unlocking "burning boat" Which will do exactly what I faced off.
    250lvl on Guardians of Fortune - Unlocking "Mists on the deck / On whole boat" (but not so dense so you can see, also colors must match with athenas..)

    And we can go on and on with others (Orde of Souls for example can put you a skeletons on deck or something like that)

    What do you guys think about it?
    Is it dumb idea?

    Wish you a great day Fellas!

    While visually entertaining I would ask: How do you distinguish between your whole ship being on fire and let's say the ornamental fire you propose?

    The glitch doesn't show when you're on the ship which could be one way. The burning sfx doesn't play so that could be another.

    That's a bug alright, yet it seems the OP is proposing this as a permanent feature.

    It's fun as a glitch. You're looking at your ship in a safe zone, on fire and you're wondering if it's a new breed of tucker or did you leave the stove on lol

    @pithyrumble Agree 100% on the fun side of it.

    I like it being a feature rather than just bugs

    I used to put a rage chest on the tip of the bow, catch my mast on fire, and then spray the sky with the ashen winds skull when I sailed by boats at night just to give them a story to tell.

    yippee yi yay
    yippee yi ooh

    100% only for fun purposes. Visualy you can see from far away boat which is approaching to you and yet you can now it will make your time tough to beat them since they have minimum 250lvl on PVP.. It´s just an idea which I think is a good thing to share and talk about. For sure, as I wrote it would not be a problem to make it to perfection. ;)

    I think the main problem here would be to differentiate regular fire from the cosmetic effect. While I agree it would be funny (curses on boats were always a wish of mine) it would be potentially misleading new players (and veterans alike, depending on how they do it) into misreading a PvP situation pretty awkwardly.

    I'm all for it, but maybe not with fire? What about "flaming scars" across the boat, just like the ashen curse?
